Bound By Blood

Bound by Blood- Book 3 of the Blood Series

For Dr. Sofia Pierce, house arrest isn't just confinement—it's suffocation. Trapped under the relentless watch of sixteen of The Alliance's deadliest warriors, her every move is shadowed, her privacy nonexistent. Even a trip to the bathroom requires an escort. Her home, once a place of comfort, now feels more like a prison, guarded by men as fierce as dragons. 

But Sofia refuses to let the weight of their duty crush them. With her sharp wit, playful defiance, and boundless heart, she takes on an impossible mission—breaking through their hardened exteriors. She teases, she challenges, and she makes it her personal goal to replace their battle-worn expressions with rare, genuine smiles. One by one, the warriors fall under her spell, no longer just her protectors but her friends, her family. 

Among them, her bond with Ambrose Kane—her "Vader"—grows into something unexpected. Once an intimidating presence, Ambrose has become a steady force in her life, a protector she trusts implicitly. With him, the fear she once harbored fades, replaced by a connection that goes beyond mere duty. 

But just as Sofia begins to feel safe within their brotherhood, her world is shattered by betrayal. 

Five of the men she trusted—warriors she had come to cherish—break that trust in a way so profound it leaves her reeling. The devastation is instant, gut-wrenching. They hadn't just failed her; they had torn something vital from her soul. 

Heartbroken, Sofia does the only thing she can—she runs. She severs all ties, cutting them off from her heart and even from the blood bond that once connected them. The men are left in agony, stripped of the one person who had come to mean everything to them. 

But pain is a cruel teacher. 

Sofia wants them to suffer. She wants them to feel the depth of their betrayal, the way it splintered her from the inside out. At first, she swears she will never forgive them. 

Yet time has a way of unraveling even the strongest resolve. 

Despite the wounds they inflicted, despite the rage she clings to, one undeniable truth remains—she still loves them. And no matter how much she tries to push them away, she knows she needs them. 

But forgiveness isn't a gift; it's a war. 

One warrior, in particular, will have to fight harder than he ever has—to prove himself, to earn back not only her trust but her love. Sofia won't make it easy. She'll drag him through the fire, make him bleed, and ensure that when he finally gets back to her, he'll never risk losing her again. 

Because some betrayals cut deep. But love? Love can carve even deeper. 

And if they can survive this, they'll be stronger than ever. 

If.
